Windows XP hard drive connected to sata card controller

[BansiJ]

I recently installed myself motherboard, pci sata controller card, hard disk on my computer. So with the above installation, the system is not working and giving me blue screen on Windows XP boot cd, I even didn't found hard drive! The motherboard has no sata power, where the controller card is. So my question: how to detect the hard drive in the bios and in extension for the Windows CD?

Have you inserted the controller drivers during the installation of windows? You should, also, consider including the card in the boot sequence from bios.

Actually I thought he had drivers for the controller, and besides, there's no cd came with! It is a pci card comprising 1 External eSata port, 2 internal SATA ports and one IDE port.

In the boot sequence, it said nothing, but I'll double check.

"Press F6 to add raid drivers .....", download the drivers from the net. If there is still a windows on a pata drive, you can install the scsi card as storage, install the driver in the windows and then pata: clone the windows from pata to sata, giving priority to boot scsi in the bios, and on sata reboot (removing the pata for a 1st start is better)

I see, but the problem is that the windows pata disk is damaged and I am trying to resolve it, I thought it was the chkdsk that fails like everything else where the proposed solution.
